DIAGNOSTICS OF OPTICAL PICKUP AND REPLACING TRAVERSE UNIT
Make failure diagnostics of the Optical Pickup as follows.
If the laser drive current (IOP) becomes more than 1.5 times of the initial value, the Optical Pickup should be replaced.
The laser drive current initial value is checked by "IOP checked Method" of next page.
In case of replacing the Pickup, change the whole part of the Traverse Unit.
No mechanical adjustment is necessary after the replacement.
